À propos de l'auteur
Elizabeth Burton-Phillips was a teacher and has since retrained as a drugs counsellor. She kept a harrowing video diary throughout her sons' drug addiction. She is in demand to talk to organisations and schools all over the UK, and has founded a charity in her son's memory.
À propos de la quatrième de couverture
Elizabeth Burton-Phillips was a teacher, an ordinary middle-class mother who never imagined that her twin sons, Nick and Simon, would become involved in drugs.
But when they started smoking cannabis in school it was just the beginning of a terrible journey in to personal and family heartbreak. Nick and Simon became heroin addicts, resorting to lying, drug-dealing, even stealing from their parents.
The painful journey ended in the way Elizabeth had always dreaded - a knock on the door in the middle of the night by the police: 'I'm sorry, but your son Nick is dead.'
Written with the help of Elizabeth's surviving twin son, Simon, now drug-free, this is a gut-wrenching story that will shake every reader to the core.
'Elizabeth's courage in speaking out is moving, and her ability to move others is impressive . . . This is a story that needs to be told, and needs to be heard' Theresa May, Prime Minister
